Hello, I’m a senior from Portland, Oregon, and the Chief Fundraising Officer of YPS. As president of the Speech & Debate Program at Sunset High School, I lead one of the top teams in the region and am ranked among the top debaters in the U.S. I also co-founded Exotech, a startup that won the Diamond Challenge for developing a brain-controlled exoskeleton for stroke rehabilitation. I’m passionate about advocacy, working to extend persuasion and critical thinking skills beyond debate to empower others in political participation and drive meaningful community change.<\/p>\n
